My daughter is still using her iPhone X. She's used it all through college, she's graduating as a doctor of veterinary medicine in May 😊

Kinda hard to believe that phone is almost 7 years old

I’ve been using an iPhone 13 Mini for a year and a half and I will use it until it explodes. It’s the greatest smartphone I’ve ever used. Sheer perfection. Bliss.

Absolutely correct. It's crazy to buy most tech new. My wife had an old 3G phone and replaced it a couple of years ago with an iPhone 7 for $90. Loves it. Needed a new battery recently, but that's been the only extra cost. My iMac is a refurb and so is our M1 air. I buy all my camera gear and audio gear used.

Aged like wine, this phone is one of the best pieces of engineering ever made

i still use an iphone x to this day, still very usable phone in 2024. the battery in my model and only 64gb of storage are the only things that make me want to upgrade.

In terms of innovation and design, Apple really peaked with the iPhone x

Got this as my first phone brand new. It lasted me until the very beginning of 2024 then it started to show its age. I really loved that phone and it has been through it all. It served me well, great phone!

I use an XS Max since day one, works great!

[jordawesome]

If you’re talking iPhone X. Battery isn’t great. Performance is probably good enough. Camera is alright. Technically it’s not supported with iOS but runs iOS 16 Just fine

i used a cheap Galaxy Trend from 2013-2019... calling an IPhone X a *Challenge* is such a luxury😂

[saburotoshio]

This makes me grateful about my iPhone Xs. I’ve been using it for years and now I just had to change the battery because it drains like reallyfast. But overall, it’s still pretty great phone and enough for my use.

I’m planning to upgrade to a newer iPhone (either 14 or 15) by 2025 or later, and going to use it for 3+ years.
Until then I’ll use my Xs until Apple stopped updates for it.

iPhone X - the last phone I bought….. my father in law now uses it, still, I loved my iPhone 12 mini, only have a 14 pro as they are provided by my work.

Enjoy your iPhone X - they’re still amazing devices

This phone is beyond capable of doing modern tasks and should have received iOS17, it is not the same as the iPhone 8 which is also still quite capable, unfortunately the X does have some issues from a manufacturing standpoint which mine fell victim to on Tuesday, the screen can become unresponsive to touch but usually a hard reset fixes it but over the week this stopped working and the phone is completely unresponsive to touch even after being factory reset when the phone did respond to touch and then again when in DFU mode. I don't like the idea of carrying a $1, 000 device when i go out, that is a lot of responsibility and worry about losing it. dropping it or getting stolen. All iPhones from the X onwards are so capable of doing all modern tasks that there is no reason to financially burden yourself to buy something as a status symbol and with the rate of iPhone thefts i think that status symbol can become a target in some cases which is very unfortunate.

Still have the 11 Pro Max since ‘22. No complaints. Going to replace the battery soon, only reason I want to upgrade is for USB C but I’ll just buy the 15 pro when it’s been 4 years old lol

I have been using iPhone X for last 5 years. Changed battery once.I use it for all generic purpose call text emails banking social networks and maps. It’s perfectly sized, comfortable inside my side pockets. Camera is decent for sharing some fun moments with friends and family. Sound quality is awesome. I wish they keep making high end phones with this dimension.

[markburgess]

My Xs Max was a great phone, after 3 years of daily use the battery was still at 90% health. After the experience of this fantastic phone and with hindsight, I do wonder the real point of continual upgrade to the latest models.

I use an iPhone 6s as my main phone and it does everything I want and its not slow or anything. If your gonna do a video like this I’d do an older phone since iPhone X isn’t really surprising.

I use an iphone xs for work and it’s a great phone

I've been on the cycle you mentioned with the iPhone 8 Plus. The X and the 8 Plus are essentially the same internals and the same camera.
